Furey Brothers, Red Rose Cafe (1987)
Key: :[Am] (w: Don Black, P. Kurtner)

VERSE 1:
They [Am] come from the farms and the factories too
And they all soon forget who they [E] are
The cares of today are soon washed away
As they sit at a stool by the [Am] bar

VERSE 2:
The girl with green eyes and the rolling stones shirt
Doesn't look like she works on the [Dm] land
The man at the end is a [Am] very good friend
Of a [E] man who sells cars second [A] hand

CHORUS:
[N.C.] Down at the [A] red rose cafe in the harbour
There by the port just outside Amster-[E]-dam
Everyone [D] shares in the songs and the [A] laughter
Everyone [E] there is so happy to be [A] there

VERSE 3:
The [Am] salesmen relax with a few pints of beer
And they try not to speak about [E] trade
The poet won't write any verses tonight
But he may sing a sweet seren-[Am]-ade

VERSE 4:
So pull up a chair and forget about life
It's a good thing to do now and [Dm] then
And if you like it here [Am] I have an idea
To-[E]-morrow lets all meet a-[A]-gain

REPEAT CHORUS: [2 Times, 2nd time N.C.]

SONG KEY CHANGE: [+1] [Bbm]

CHORUS:
[N.C.] Down at the [Bb] red rose cafe in the harbour
There by the port just outside Amster-[F]-dam

Everyone [F] there is so happy to be [Bb] there
